[PATCH] kernel: module: Pass lockdep expression to RCU lists

[Amol Grover]

modules is traversed using list_for_each_entry_rcu outside an
RCU read-side critical section but under the protection
of module_mutex or with preemption disabled.

Hence, add corresponding lockdep expression to silence false-positive
lockdep warnings, and harden RCU lists.

list_for_each_entry_rcu when traversed inside a preempt disabled
section, doesn't need an explicit lockdep expression since it is
implicitly checked for.

Add macro for the corresponding lockdep expression.
